Flights to Hydra, Attica from NT$2,853

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Hydra in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

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 choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Hydra, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• 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 earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
