Do you have any tips for my flight to Bristol?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bristol could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bristol?
Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Bristol quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
