## Frequently Asked Questions

### How to book the cheapest flight to Alfaro?

Don't leave booking your flight to Alfaro until the last possible moment. That's one trick well-versed travellers use to get the best prices. Booking in advance means more options and more affordable flights. Don't stop there, however. Do some research and see if there are multiple airports at your destination. Ticket prices often differ depending on which airport you go for. Make sure you compare prices across airlines too. And finally, don't forget that it's first in, best dressed. Familiarise yourself with airfare costs and have your credit card ready to reserve your seat as soon as you see an unbeatable bargain. The best deals never last long.

### Do you have any tips for my flight to Alfaro?

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. 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.
