We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Haspolat in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Haspolat in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
