How to survive the flight to Big Bear Lake?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Big Bear Lake escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Bear Lake?
It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Big Bear Lake, here you come:
  • Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
