Cheap Flights to Manavgat from HK$403

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Manavgat holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Manavgat in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
