Do you have any tips for my flight to Istambul?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Istambul could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Istambul?
It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Istambul, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
