Do you have any tips for my flight to San Diego?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Diego could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Diego?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to San Diego quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
