Do you have any tips for my flight to San Jose?

  • Get your trip off to a flying start by being well prepared. Pack your passport, travel documents and medications first. Next, consider downloading a few blockbuster movies on your tablet for a binge session sans guilt. Or, toss in that fantasy bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, something to nibble on and a soft neck pillow will go a long way to making your flight as comfy as possible.
  • There’s a lengthy list of items you should not pack in your carry-on baggage too. Sharps, flammables and explosives are strictly prohibited in the cabin — they often include box cutters, razor blades, flares and aerosol cans. Some sporting equipment, such as baseball bats and martial arts weapons like nunchucks, also generally can’t go in your hand luggage. Your airline’s website will have all the details about what you can and can’t take on board.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling short or long-haul, wearing layers will help you stay comfortable. Opt for loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you fresh and pack a sweater to cope with any in-flight cabin temperature variations. Keep your feet happy in a pair of sneakers or closed-toe shoes.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, by regularly moving around the cabin. Alternatively, do foot and leg exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to San Jose?
Finding a cheap, last-minute flight to San Jose is as simple as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some leeway when it comes to your flight times, travel dates and choice of carrier. If your destination has a few airports to choose from, compare the prices of jetting into each of them for the best deal on your ticket.
