How to survive the flight to Brecon?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Brecon holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Brecon?
The answer is — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Brecon, here you come:

  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
