Cheap Flights to Ciudad Real

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Ciudad Real holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ciudad Real in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
