Do you have any tips for my flight to Golfito?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Golfito. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Golfito?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Golfito a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • 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 things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
