Cheap Flights to Brea de Tajo from HK$1,183

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Brea de Tajo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy 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:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Brea de Tajo, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
