Flights to Roufas, Faistos from NT$2,406

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Roufas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Roufas in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
