Cheap Flights to Paseo de Almeria from HK$5,460

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Paseo de Almeria holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Paseo de Almeria in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
