Do you have any tips for my flight to Arenal Hot Springs?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Arenal Hot Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Arenal Hot Springs?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Arenal Hot Springs in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
