Cheap Flights to Selçuk from HK$1,166

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Selçuk could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Selçuk in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
