Flights to Kallithea, Athens from NT$3,206

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

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Kallithea a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
