Do you have any tips for my flight to San José?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your San José escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to San José?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to San José a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
