Do you have any tips for my flight to Illapel?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Illapel. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Illapel?
It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Illapel, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
