Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Alfaro in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage: - A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash. Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage: - Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). What to wear on a flight: - Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes. - Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation. ### How to get through airport security fast when flying to Alfaro? It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Alfaro, here you come: - Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security. - Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn. - For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner. - Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger 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. - Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening. - Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage. ## Travel information | Destination city name | San José | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Destination airport | Juan Santamaria Intl.
