Cheap Flights to Barakaldo from HK$256

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Barakaldo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Barakaldo a piece of cake. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
