Do you have any tips for my flight to Palm Springs?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Palm Springs in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palm Springs?
The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Palm Springs, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with a new cologne? Not a 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
