Do you have any tips for my flight to San Jose?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Jose could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Jose?
The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Jose in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
