Do you have any tips for my flight to San Francisco?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in San Francisco. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to San Francisco a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
