Cheap Flights to Medina-Sidonia from HK$1,404

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Medina-Sidonia escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Medina-Sidonia a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
