Question 10

How to survive the flight to Punta Arenas?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Punta Arenas holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Punta Arenas?

Accepted Answer

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Punta Arenas in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
Can't travel without your favourite 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-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
