Do you have any tips for my flight to Bedford?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Bedford in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bedford?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bedford in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
