Cheap Flights to Sevilla

We all know those lucky jet-setters who somehow nab impossibly cheap airfares every time they fly. Eager to know how to do it for your Sevilla holiday? Don't wait until the last minute to secure your flight. Don't stop there, however. Do some research and see if there are a couple of airports at your destination. Fares often differ depending on which airport you fly into. Make sure you compare fares across airlines too. Lastly, be prepared to lock in your seat quickly if you stumble on a great deal. It might not be available for long. With a bit of know-how and a little good fortune, the perfect airfare will be yours.

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Sevilla in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Sevilla, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
