Cheap Flights to Viladrau from HK$382

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Viladrau.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Viladrau, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
