How to survive the flight to Calama?

Accepted Answer

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Calama in no time.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Calama?

Accepted Answer

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Calama, here you come:

Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
