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

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks can also help.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Megalochari easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
