Flights to Same, Tonchigüe from

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Same. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Same, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
