Cheap Flights to Miramichi from HK$7,274

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Miramichi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Miramichi quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
