Do you have any tips for my flight to Puntarenas?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Puntarenas vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Puntarenas?

Accepted Answer

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Puntarenas a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
