Do you have any tips for my flight to San Francisco?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your San Francisco holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out San Francisco, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
