We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Valparaiso in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Valparaiso easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
