How to survive the flight to Bridgend?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Bridgend.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bridgend?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Bridgend, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
