We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Burhaniye in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Burhaniye a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
