How to survive the flight to San Francisco?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of San Francisco in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to San Francisco quick and painless. We’ve compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
