No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Oradea holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports 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:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Oradea in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
