Nook Miles Tickets in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are a staple to your very existence during island life. These tickets are your temporary getaway from your own personal idyll, allowing you to jump on a plane and get away for a while. You'll land on an alternate island that's been randomly generated, and will offer you a plethora of additional crafting resources and even a new friendly face to discover.

But you won't get access to Nook Miles Tickets without paying off your initial moving fees - the 5,000 Miles fare that Tom Nook sets as your relocation fees.

Once you've done that, you'll unlock the 'Redeem Nook Miles' section of the Nook Stop at Resident Services. In here, you can buy Nook Miles Tickets for 2,000 Miles a pop, plus a number of other rewards like Nook Inc-themed clothing, and even more hairstyles to bolster your Animal Crossing: New Horizons character customisation options.

And then it's just a case of printing a Nook Miles Ticket off, and heading over to the airport.

Here, speak to Orville and then choose the following options to use your Nook ticket.

Make sure that you have enough tools and free inventory slots before you go, because you'll want to fill your pockets with everything that these remote islands have to offer - although it's worth mentioning each of these islands does have a crafting workbench for you to make more tools if yours break, and you can buy some more from Wilbur for 100 Miles a pop.

Here's our list of things to do while utilising a Nook Miles Ticket:
