Do you have any tips for my flight to San Clemente?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring San Clemente in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Clemente?
The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Clemente in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, 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 shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take 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.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
