Flights to Agios Adrianos, Nafplio from NT$3,102

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Agios Adrianos. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Agios Adrianos, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
