Cheap Flights to La Nucia from HK$607

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your La Nucia vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to La Nucia before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
