Cheap Flights to Cabrera from HK$2,659

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Cabrera. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember 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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabrera in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
