Cheap Flights to Castrillo de Duero from HK$2,210

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Castrillo de Duero holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Castrillo de Duero, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
