If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport cafes and less time moving through security on your way to Santiago, just follow these suggestions:

• Have your passport and boarding pass somewhere accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security staff.
• Wallets, USB sticks and keys should be placed in a tub for X-raying. If you walk into the body scanner with these items, you'll be turned back and instructed to remove them.
• Laptops, digital cameras and other electronic devices must be placed in separate tubs to be X-rayed.
• Flying with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Give some thought to the type of footwear you want to fly in. Slippers are awesome because they're super easy to take off for the airport security checks. Try wearing some on your next flight!
• Some destinations have strict quarantine laws. Consider where you're off to and whether or not you can travel with unpackaged foods.
