Flights to Hacibektas, Nevşehir from NT$17,200

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Hacibektas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Hacibektas a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
