How to survive the flight to Manuel Antonio?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Manuel Antonio.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manuel Antonio?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Manuel Antonio, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
