How to survive the flight to Nuevo Arenal?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Nuevo Arenal could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We’ve rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nuevo Arenal?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Nuevo Arenal a pleasure. We’ve rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Can’t travel without your favorite cologne? As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
