Do you have any tips for my flight to Carlsbad?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Carlsbad in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carlsbad?
Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Carlsbad a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
