Cheap Flights to Cabo de Hornos

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cabo de Hornos could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Cabo de Hornos, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
