Flights to Golcuk, Kocaeli from NT$9,525

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Golcuk. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Golcuk, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
