If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Bulancak.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bulancak easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
