Flights to Andronianoi, Kymi-Aliveri from NT$2,451

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Andronianoi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Andronianoi in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
