Frequently asked questions

How to book the cheapest flight to San José?
Don't leave locking in your flight to San José until the very last minute. That's one trick seasoned jet-setters use to get the best deals. Booking in advance means more options and cheaper flights. Another fantastic way to get the most affordable fare is to compare all options. If your destination has multiple airports, look into the cost of flying into a less busy terminal. And finally, don't forget that it's first in, best dressed. Know what a typical airfare costs and be ready to buy your ticket as soon as you spot a bargain. The sweetest deals never last long.
Do you have any tips for my flight to San José?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in San José. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San José?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San José in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with a new 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
