There are plenty of pretty fishing villages nearby, each offering a unique insight into how Benidorm must have been before it became a popular resort. The nearby towns of Villa Joyosa, Altea or El Campello are much smaller and more peaceful by comparison.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Benidorm?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Benidorm. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Benidorm?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Benidorm before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
