Make your journey to Oakland a little easier by following these helpful tips and pointers:

• Security staff will request to see your travel ID and boarding pass at the checkpoint. Have them in an accessible place, so they're all ready for inspection.
• Take off your shoes, belt and jewellery before arriving at the airport security checkpoint. Items such as these are not allowed in the body scanner.
• Electronic devices such as tablets, laptops and phones will need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure they're easily accessible.
• Deodorant, toothpaste and other toiletry items in cream, liquid or gel form need to be stored in containers smaller than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear resealable bag.
• Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are most often X-rayed by security personnel. Think about wearing lightweight sneakers instead.
• Some places have strict quarantine laws. Consider where you're going to and whether or not it's permissible to travel with fresh fruit.
