Cheap Flights to Romance

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Romance in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

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

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Romance, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
