Cheap Flights to Calpe from HK$221

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Calpe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols 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:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Calpe a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
