Flights to Holyhead

For a unique getaway, why not book a flight to Holyhead? Situated in the Welsh county of Anglesey, it is close to Snowdonia National Park and also popular with those looking for a short getaway before they travel to Ireland via Holyhead’s active seaport.

Anglesey Airport is a mere hop, skip and a jump away from Holyhead, and Liverpool Airport is also nearby. With two airports so close, booking a flight to Holyhead could hardly be easier. There are very few places in the world where you can immerse yourself in briny island air, and then get lost on snowy mountain peaks, all in the same day.

Airports Close to Holyhead

Anglesey Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport are the two closest airports Holyhead, with Anglesey located just six miles away. While this makes it the most geographically convenient airport when flying to Holyhead, the airport only serves a single airline with flights from Cardiff and Norwich. You may find it more convenient to fly to Holyhead via Liverpool, a busier airport about two hour’s drive east of Holyhead, close to the English side of the border.

Flying to Holyhead via Liverpool Airport

Unless you’re flying from Cardiff or Norwich (in which case Anglesey should be your destination of choice) Liverpool John Lennon Airport is definitely the better option. You can book flights here from a wide selection of European holiday destinations from city breaks to beach destination. There are also flights from many locations on the British Isles. Liverpool receives flights from Belfast City, Cork, Derry, Knock, Dublin, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Newquay (summer season only).

Once Your Flight Lands

Holyhead is just a ten minutes away by car or bus from Anglesey Airport via the North Wales Expressway. Travelling by road is also the fastest way to get here from Liverpool. Once your flight arrives, it is less than two hours from Liverpool in a car via the A55 road. There are public transport routes available from Liverpool to Holyhead but they are not direct so this could double your travel time.

When to Fly to Holyhead

Towering mountains and craggy coastlines characterise this wonderful island town, and the hiking here is fantastic at any time of year. However, booking flights to coincide with the annual Holyhead Maritime Leisure and Heritage Festival in July is a great way to experience the local culture. Head out to a comedy night or see some live music, while absorbing the town’s maritime history through a series of locally organised community activities that are perfect for the whole family. The festival is a great event and the perfect time to book a flight to Holyhead.

How to survive the flight to Holyhead?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Holyhead in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Holyhead?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Holyhead, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
