How to survive the flight to Palo Alto?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Palo Alto.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palo Alto?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Palo Alto, here you come:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
