How to survive the flight to Bakersfield?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and discovering Bakersfield before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bakersfield?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Bakersfield, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
