We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Çesme before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave 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) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
