Cheap Flights to Uzunyurt from HK$305

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Uzunyurt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Uzunyurt quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
