Cheap Flights to Ortigueira from HK$6,191

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Ortigueira.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Ortigueira quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
