Do you have any tips for my flight to San José?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San José could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take 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 conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, 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 go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San José?
It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out San José, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? 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're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
