Flights to Karaöz, Kumluca from NT$4,707

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Karaöz. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Karaöz, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
