Question 10

How to survive the flight to Swansea?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Swansea could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Swansea?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Swansea, here you come:

Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
Traveling with your favorite 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
