Flights to Anissaras, Hersonissos from NT$6,260

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Anissaras could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Anissaras a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
