Do you have any tips for my flight to San Francisco?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering San Francisco in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Francisco?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Francisco in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
