How to survive the flight to Bangor?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bangor could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bangor?
Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Bangor a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
