Cheap Flights to Shobara from HK$541

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Shobara could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Shobara a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster 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 before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
