Cheap Flights to Shiraoi from HK$325

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shiraoi could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Shiraoi, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
