Flights to Filiates, Epirus from NT$4,718

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Filiates escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Filiates quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
