How to survive the flight to Santa Monica?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Santa Monica could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santa Monica?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Santa Monica in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
