Cheap Flights to Rosthern from HK$550

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Rosthern holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Rosthern a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
