Cheap Flights to Mijares from HK$1,118

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Mijares escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mijares in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
