Cheap Flights to Bellver de Cerdanya from HK$362

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Bellver de Cerdanya holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Bellver de Cerdanya a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
