Cheap Flights to Balchik from HK$1,399

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Balchik could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Balchik a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
