Cheap Flights to Benavente from HK$6,911

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Benavente. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Benavente in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
