Cheap Flights to Cetate from HK$1,440

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cetate could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Cetate a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• 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 on board.
