Cheap Flights to Sighetu Marmatiei from HK$5,826

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Sighetu Marmatiei. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Sighetu Marmatiei, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
