Cheap Flights to Murcia from HK$163

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Murcia in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Murcia a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
