How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Alajuela

  • Security personnel will expect to see your travel ID and boarding pass upon arrival. Tuck them away in a convenient place, so they're ready for inspection.
  • Remove your belt and shoes before approaching the airport security checkpoint. Items such as these are not permitted to pass through the body scanner.
  • All laptops need to be taken out of their protective cases and placed in a tray before going through the X-ray machine.
  • Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it contains no more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear resealable plastic bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Safety boots and other cumbersome shoes tend to be X-rayed by security personnel. We suggest wearing simple sneakers instead.
  • Multi-tools and corkscrews are not permitted on board the plane. Put them in your checked luggage to avoid leaving them at the security checkpoint.
