Cheap Flights to Pedreguer from HK$179

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Pedreguer escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pedreguer in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
