Do you have any tips for my flight to Bakersfield?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bakersfield could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bakersfield?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bakersfield in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • 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 safely in your checked luggage.
