Do you have any tips for my flight to Wilmington?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Wilmington. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Wilmington?
The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wilmington in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
