Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bogazici could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bogazici in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
