How to survive the flight to California?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in California in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to California?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to California easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
