Flights to Península Ruca Co, Río Negro from NT$94,210

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lago Pellegrini could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lago Pellegrini in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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 tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
