Cheap Flights to Isla de Arosa from HK$3,751

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Isla de Arosa could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Isla de Arosa a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), 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 smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
