How to survive the flight to San Mateo?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in San Mateo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Mateo?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to San Mateo a breeze. Below you’ll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
