Do you have any tips for my flight to Puntarenas?

  • Wherever your journey is taking you, flying can be a relaxing experience if you’re prepared. First of all, pack your passport (or a valid ID), travel documents and medications. Next, toss in some in-flight entertainment to help make the time fly by. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you want to get some shut-eye, a memory-foam neck pillow and earplugs are also worth bringing along.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on bag too. Flammables, explosives and sharps are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include knives of any sort, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, are also not allowed in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t bring on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort rather than fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural fabrics as they allow air and moisture to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures can get cold on long-haul flights, so bring a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by poor circulation and inactivity. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks can also help to reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Puntarenas?
If you want to land a cheap last-minute flight to Puntarenas, flexibility is key. If possible, have a bit of wiggle room with the dates you plan to travel. It will also help to have a bit of flexibility with your airports, choice of carrier, flight times and possible stops or layovers.
Where can I learn more about changing or canceling my flight to Puntarenas?
Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
