How to survive the flight to Turrialba?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Turrialba.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

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 one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Turrialba?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Turrialba easy and painless. We’ve compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a chance you’ll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
