Do you have any tips for my flight to Dana Point?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Dana Point could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • 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 leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Dana Point?
It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Dana Point, here you come:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • 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 headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
