Do you have any tips for my flight to Carlsbad?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Carlsbad could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carlsbad?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Carlsbad, here you come:

  • Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • 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 in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
