Flights to Bursa, Bursa from NT$16,540

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bursa could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bursa in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
