How to survive the flight to Monterey?
If you’re not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Monterey.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Monterey?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Monterey, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. 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 heavy coats or jackets. 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. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not 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 baggage.
