Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your San Francisco vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. 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:
- Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
- The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
