Do you have any tips for my flight to Oakland?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Oakland could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oakland?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Oakland a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:
  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
