Cheap Flights to Guardamar del Segura from HK$311

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Guardamar del Segura escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown 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 baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Guardamar del Segura a piece of cake. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices 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.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
