Cheap Flights to İzmit

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to İzmit could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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 flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to İzmit a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
