How to survive the flight to San Clemente?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your San Clemente escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Clemente?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out San Clemente, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
