Cheap Flights to Sant Rafael de Sa Creu from HK$177

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sant Rafael de Sa Creu could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Sant Rafael de Sa Creu a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
