Cheap Flights to Serik from HK$302

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Serik before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

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

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
