Cheap Flights to Santa Perpetua de Moguda from HK$294

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Santa Perpetua de Moguda holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santa Perpetua de Moguda in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
