Cheap Flights to Lacu Rosu from HK$594

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Lacu Rosu escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger 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 slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Lacu Rosu a breeze. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
