Flights to Turgutreis City Center, Bodrum from NT$39,975

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Turgutreis City Center vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Turgutreis City Center a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
