Do you have any tips for my flight to Bridgend?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Bridgend in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bridgend?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bridgend easy and painless. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
