Cheap Flights to Oviedo from HK$1,058

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Oviedo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Oviedo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
