Flights to Voulgaro, Kissamos from

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Voulgaro.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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 screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Voulgaro, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring 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. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
