Cheap Flights to Miranda from HK$7,237

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Miranda could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Miranda a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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.
