Cheap Flights to Ancud from HK$9,858

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ancud could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Ancud, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
