Cheap Flights to Mihi from HK$11,156

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mihi could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Mihi a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
