Cheap Flights to Rankoshi from HK$597

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rankoshi could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rankoshi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
