Do you have any tips for my flight to San José?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your San José escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San José?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San José in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
