How to survive the 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 drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
  • A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Jose?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Jose in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
