Cheap Flights to La Rambla from HK$274

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring La Rambla in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change 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 luggage. 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 beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to La Rambla a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
