Cheap Flights to Terrassa from CA $482

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Terrassa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Terrassa a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
