Cheap Flights to Ceyhan from HK$2,227

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Ceyhan holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ceyhan, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
