Do you have any tips for my flight to Santa Monica?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Santa Monica could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Monica?
The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santa Monica in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
