Flights to Akçaabat, Trabzon from NT$58,806

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy hints that will get your Akçaabat vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Akçaabat, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
