Cheap Flights to Roosteren from HK$882

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Roosteren. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Roosteren in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? 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, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
