Cheap Flights to Linares from HK$492

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Linares. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Linares, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
