Do you have any tips for my flight to Alajuela?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Alajuela escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alajuela?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Alajuela, here you come:

  • Have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
