Do you have any tips for my flight to Bakersfield?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bakersfield could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, 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 Bakersfield?
It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Bakersfield, here you come:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
