Top Tips for Travel this Christmas season
Travelling through Belfast international Airport this Christmas? We have outlined some useful hints and tips for the festive period.
Travelling with Christmas presents
Please ensure that any wrapped presents are checked into hold baggage – especially if they are electrical or liquid. Any electrical items being carried as hand luggage runs the risk of needing to be checked by security so if you are carrying them in your hand luggage, please don’t wrap them as they may need to be opened at security.
Check Travel Document Requirements
Always double-check before you leave for the airport that you have the correct documentation ready at check-in.
Arrive On Time
Check with your airline for the latest information on your flight and arrive when your airline advises. We recommend you arrive at the Airport at least two hours before your flight departs. Please do not arrive too early or cut it too fine as we are expecting a large volume of people travelling.
Keep Travel Essentials Handy
Make sure your tickets and boarding pass, travel insurance, driving license, currency and credit cards are safe but easily accessible. It’s also mindful to carry a charger for your smartphone and have your airline information ready. Please keep your travel documents available to hand as you pass through security and the airport.
Remove Liquids
Remember, you can only take liquids in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100ml on the plane. Each item should be left in your hand luggage.
Passing through Security
Before reaching security, please remember that all your electronic devices can now be left in your hand luggage. Coats, jackets and belts should still be removed as this helps speed up the security process. For more information visit Security | Belfast International Airport (belfastairport.com)
