Question 10

How to survive the flight to Oakland?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Oakland in next to no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Oakland?

Accepted Answer

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Oakland, here you come:

Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
