Cheap Flights to Shibecha from HK$781

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shibecha could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Shibecha in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
