Cheap Flights to Linares from HK$1,946

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Linares could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Linares in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container 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 and heavy shoes 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
