Flights to Bucharest, Ilfov from NT$6,636

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

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bucharest a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
