We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Chile Chico in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chile Chico in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
