Question 10

How to survive the flight to La Fortuna?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your La Fortuna holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Fortuna?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Fortuna in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
