Cheap Flights to Kayaköy from HK$249

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips that will get your Kayaköy escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kayaköy in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
