How to survive the flight to California?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to California could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to California?
The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to California in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
