How to survive the flight to Puntarenas?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Puntarenas could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Puntarenas?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Puntarenas, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
