Cheap Flights to Cap de Salou from HK$258

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Cap de Salou in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cap de Salou, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
