Cheap Flights to Roesrath from HK$543

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

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Roesrath a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
