Flights to Gheorgheni, Harghita from NT$22,000

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Gheorgheni in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gheorgheni in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
