Question 10

How to survive the flight to Santiago?

Accepted Answer

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Santiago in no time at all.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santiago?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Santiago, here you come:

First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
