Do you have any tips for my flight to Oakland?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Oakland. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, 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?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Oakland, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, 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 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
