Cheap Flights to Sibiu from HK$1,953

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Sibiu escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sibiu in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
