If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Caviahue. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Caviahue, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
