Do you have any tips for my flight to Bilbao?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Bilbao in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bilbao?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Bilbao, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
