We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Trabzon in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Trabzon in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
