Do you have any tips for my flight to San Mateo?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in San Mateo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Mateo?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Mateo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good 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.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
