Cheap Flights to Caleta de Famara from HK$568

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Caleta de Famara. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Caleta de Famara a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget 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 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
