How to survive the flight to San Mateo?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in San Mateo in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Mateo?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out San Mateo, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. 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, it’s fine to bring with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
