How to survive the flight to Surf City?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Surf City vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Surf City?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Surf City, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
