How to survive the flight to Imperial Beach?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and exploring Imperial Beach in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a sweater in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Imperial Beach?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Imperial Beach quick and painless. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
