Cheap Flights to El Bolson

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in El Bolson. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to El Bolson a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
