How to survive the flight to La Mesa?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to La Mesa could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Mesa?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to La Mesa in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
