Cheap Flights to Es Capdella from HK$139

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Es Capdella. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Es Capdella in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
