Flights to Antuco, Biobío from NT$32,986

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Antuco.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Antuco in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
