How to survive the flight to Aberdare?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Aberdare could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Aberdare?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Aberdare in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
