Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Daimalos Vados could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Daimalos Vados in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
