Do you have any tips for my flight to Los Angeles?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Los Angeles escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Los Angeles?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Los Angeles, here you come:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.

Best time to go to Los Angeles

Peak Season:

Although Los Angeles is a great place to visit all year long, tourism really booms between the months of June and August. This is largely due to the dry, warm climate, which not only makes the beaches inviting, but also calls for plenty of live outdoor entertainment.

Shoulder Season:

May and September make up the shoulder season in Los Angeles. Tourism thins out during these months as schools are not yet on holiday and the weather is a little cooler than many Los Angeles-bound tourists prefer. Because of this, finding cheap flights and accommodation is easy.

Off Season:

There is rarely a true off season in Los Angeles; however from October to April, the city becomes less clogged with people and the weather becomes a little cooler and clearer, leaving Los Angeles open for plenty of exploration.
