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

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oakland?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Oakland, here you come:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
