Cheap Flights to Marmara Ereglisi from HK$391

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Marmara Ereglisi could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Marmara Ereglisi a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
