Do you have any tips for my flight to San Jose?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your San Jose holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Jose?
A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to San Jose quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
