Cheap Flights to Dipkarpaz from HK$343

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Dipkarpaz vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Dipkarpaz easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
