Cheap Flights to Roswell from HK$972

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Roswell could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Roswell a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
