How to survive the flight to Palm Desert?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Palm Desert in no time at all.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, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palm Desert?
The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Palm Desert before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
