Cheap Flights to Guzelyurt from HK$1,859

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Guzelyurt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Guzelyurt quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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.
