Do you have any tips for my flight to Wilmington?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Wilmington in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wilmington?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wilmington in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually 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-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
