Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your San Francisco escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids 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. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out San Francisco, here you come:

Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
