Cheap Flights to Futaleufú from CA $60

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Futaleufú. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Futaleufú, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
