Flights to Ayvali, Ürgüp from NT$33,560

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Ayvali before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ayvali in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
