Cheap Flights to Burcin from HK$1,082

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Burcin escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of 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 socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Burcin in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
