Do you have any tips for my flight to San José?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in San José in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to San José?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out San José, here you come:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
