How to survive the flight to San Jose?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in San Jose in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Jose?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out San Jose, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
