Cheap Flights to Canet de Berenguer from HK$228

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Canet de Berenguer holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Canet de Berenguer in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
