Cheap Flights to El Bruc from HK$317

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in El Bruc.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to El Bruc in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
