Cheap Flights to Vilanant from HK$299

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Vilanant.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Vilanant quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
