How to survive the flight to Merced?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. We’ve put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Merced escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Merced?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Merced in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage 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 will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
