How to survive the flight to Mumbles?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve made a list of handy tips that will get your Mumbles holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mumbles?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Mumbles in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. 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 hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
