Do you have any tips for my flight to Bristol?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bristol could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bristol?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Bristol, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
