How to survive the flight to Wilmington?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Wilmington in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you’ve got all the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wilmington?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Wilmington quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on 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, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
