Do you have any tips for my flight to San Jose?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in San Jose. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to San Jose?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to San Jose a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
