Cheap Flights to Mairena del Alcor from HK$273

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Mairena del Alcor. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mairena del Alcor in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger 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 great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
