We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of El Calafate in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Calafate?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to El Calafate a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
