How to survive the flight to Monterey?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Monterey could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Monterey?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Monterey in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
