£43 Cheap Flights to Granada

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Granada could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Granada a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
