Do you have any tips for my flight to Bristol?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Bristol before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bristol?
Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Bristol a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
