Flights to Thasos, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace from NT$17,808

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Thasos could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, 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 priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Thasos a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
