If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in San José. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
- Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.
