Cheap Flights to Ungheni from HK$547

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Ungheni. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ungheni in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
