We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Agia Varvara in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Agia Varvara in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
