Do you have any tips for my flight to El Chalten?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to El Chalten could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Chalten?
It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out El Chalten, here you come:
  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • 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 bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
