Flights to Koyunbaba, Bodrum from NT$38,910

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Koyunbaba escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Koyunbaba a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
