Do you have any tips for my flight to California?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to California could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to California?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to California in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
