Cheap Flights to Roland from HK$8,026

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

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and 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 Roland in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
