Cheap Flights to Iasi from HK$281

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Iasi could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Iasi, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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 likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
