Cheap Flights to Santiago de Besteiros

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Santiago de Besteiros. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Santiago de Besteiros a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
