We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Sarmiento in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Sarmiento quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
