Flights to Kurtalan, Siirt Province from NT$69,046

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Kurtalan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Kurtalan, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
