Cheap Flights to Sant Feliu de Pallerols from HK$303

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Sant Feliu de Pallerols escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Sant Feliu de Pallerols easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
