Cheap Flights to Es Migjorn Gran from HK$300

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Es Migjorn Gran holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Es Migjorn Gran, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
