Airport issues travel advice ahead of busy getaway – Yahoo News New Zealand

Bristol Airport has issued travel advice ahead of what it says will be a busy Easter getaway period.
The transport hub said about 725,000 people would fly from the airport over the three-week period up to 19 April, with some 150,000 of those flying over the Easter weekend.
Those travelling with Easter eggs were advised to keep any chocolate treats in cabin baggage and make sure they are easily accessible, as they may need to be opened for a quick check.
A spokesperson for the airport said it had recently installed new security terminals and the average queue time for its first flight of the day was 13 minutes.

Bristol Airport serves south Wales as well as the south west of England.
An airport spokesperson said its busiest flights would be arriving from Poland, Spain, Italy and Portugal. It shared the following advice to passengers:
Liquids up to two litres (0.44 gallons) can now be carried in hand luggage and a clear plastic bag is no longer required, though rules can vary when flying from other airports
Passengers may still be asked to take off their shoes before going through scanners and the airport advised people to travel only with essential items in hand baggage
Coats, hats and belts have to be removed and placed in trays for scanning along with hand baggage
Pushchairs, wheelchairs and walking aids have to be searched so the airport advised holidaymakers to allow extra time for that
Customers travelling with a medical condition or disability, including hidden disabilities, were asked to mention this to a member of staff just before screening. A private search can be requested if this makes travellers feel more comfortable
Children who are 1m (3.3ft) tall and above will need to use the security scanner. If they are unable to hold the position required or are under this height, then they will be hand searched
Ahead of the busy holiday period, North Somerset Council has asked travellers to park safely and to choose sustainable travel options where possible.
The council said holidaymakers can leave their car at home and use the A2 and A3 bus services to get to the airport to help reduce the volume of traffic.
The A3 service departs half-hourly every day of the week – and hourly overnight – from Weston-super-Mare via Worle, Congresbury and Cleeve.
The A2 operates hourly from Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea and Backwell.
Those who choose to travel via cars must book parking through the airport's website.
