Cheap Flights to Chișinău from HK$1,203

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Chisinau vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Chisinau a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
