We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Silifke in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Silifke before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
