Do you have any tips for my flight to Wilmington?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Wilmington before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, 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 Wilmington?
The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wilmington before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
