Do you have any tips for my flight to Rancho Santa Fe?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Rancho Santa Fe in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, 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 Rancho Santa Fe?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Rancho Santa Fe a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, 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. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
