Budget Airlines (like Ryanair or Wizz Air) have stricter size and weight limits, often requiring fees for larger carry-ons. Full-Service Airlines have more lenient policies, sometimes including more spacious dimensions or higher weight limits depending on your ticket class.
The list of items prohibited on an airplane varies by country and airline, but in general, the following items are not allowed in carry-on or checked baggage: Weapons and self-defence items, sharp objects, flammable materials, explosives, toxic substances, or liquids over 100ml (except for medications and baby essentials). In checked baggage, firearms (without authorization), explosives, large lithium batteries, and hazardous chemicals are prohibited. Electronic cigarettes must be in carry-on bags, while alcohol and dry ice have restrictions. Always check with your airline for specific regulations.
The currency used in Moldova is the Moldovan Leu (MDL). Travelers often find it convenient to use cash for small purchases and in rural areas, while cards are widely accepted in cities and larger establishments. It is advisable to carry some cash for flexibility.
In Chişinău, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas and public transport. Common scams include overcharging by taxi drivers who do not use meters; it’s advisable to agree on a fare beforehand or use reputable ride-hailing apps. Avoid unlicensed guides and be wary of street vendors selling counterfeit goods. Staying vigilant in busy markets and tourist spots helps ensure a safe visit.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
