How to survive the flight to San Diego?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We’ve compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your San Diego holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Diego?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out San Diego, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s 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 gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
