Cheap Flights to Armutlu from HK$1,742

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Armutlu could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Armutlu quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
