Cheap Flights to Karamürsel from HK$659

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Karamursel could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Karamursel a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
