Cheap Flights to Göreme from HK$2,200

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Goreme.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Goreme quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy 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 safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
