Flights to Kalo Livadi, Mykonos from NT$29,440

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kalo Livadi could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kalo Livadi before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
