Frequently asked questions

How to book the cheapest flight to San Mateo?
Don't leave locking in your flight to San Mateo until the last possible moment. That's one move frequent jet-setters use to get the best deals. Booking in advance means more options and less expensive flights. Also, do some online research and compare your options. If your destination has multiple airports, you may be able to score a great deal by flying into one a little further out. Last of all, be prepared to secure your seat quickly if you find a great price. It might not be available for too long. With a bit of knowledge and a little luck, the ideal fare will be yours.
Do you have any tips for my flight to San Mateo?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in San Mateo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Mateo?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Mateo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
