Make your journey to California a little bit easier by reading over these clever security tips:

• Be sure you know the whereabouts of your passport and boarding pass. You don't want to hold up the queue when you're asked to hand them over.
• Coins, belts and mobile phones are to be put in a bin for X-raying. If you walk into the body scanner with any of these items, you'll be requested to turn back and remove them.
• Ensure your electronic devices and laptop are within easy reach. These items need to be put through the X-ray machine in separate trays.
• When it comes to traveling with gels and liquids, each passenger is permitted a quart-sized clear resealable bag to transport containers no bigger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
• Airport security staff will likely tell you to remove your shoes in preparation for entering the body scanner. Choose a pair that you can slip off easily. There's nothing more irritating than having to do up your laces again and again.
• Razors and knives are not allowed on board the plane. Put them in your checked luggage to avoid them being confiscated at the security checkpoint.
