Frequently asked questions

How to book the cheapest flight to California?
Don't leave booking your flight to California until the very last minute. That's one move savvy jet-setters use to get the best prices. Booking ahead means more choices and less expensive flights. Don't stop there, though. Do some research and find out if there are multiple airports at your destination. Fares often differ depending on the airport you go for. Be sure to compare prices across air carriers as well. Finally, another simple way to save some cash is be ready to book at a moment's notice. If you spot an amazing deal, don't think twice — grab it while you've got the chance.
Do you have any tips for my flight to California?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your holiday in California. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to California?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out California, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
