Cheap Flights to Calafell from CA $53

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Calafell. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Calafell, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
