Frequently asked questions

How to book the cheapest flight to San Francisco?
If you'd like to save some cash on your trip to San Francisco, listen up! As any seasoned jet-setter knows, don't book at the very last minute. Prices are often highest just prior to the departure date. Also, do some online research and compare your options. If your destination has multiple airports, you may be able to nab a better price by flying into one a little further out. Last but not least, another simple way to save some money is be ready to book at a moment's notice. If you come across an amazing deal, don't hold off — snap it up while you've got the chance.
Do you have any tips for my flight to San Francisco?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your San Francisco holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to San Francisco a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
