Cheap Flights to La Pobla de Vallbona from HK$158

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Pobla de Vallbona could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to La Pobla de Vallbona in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
