How to survive the flight to San Diego?
If you’re poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in San Diego.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Diego?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to San Diego before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
