Cheap Flights to Bolu from HK$2,200

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bolu could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bolu a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
