Cheap Flights to Miramar from HK$997

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Miramar in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Miramar before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
