Flights to Aggeliana, Mylopotamos from NT$40,008

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Aggeliana vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted 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:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Aggeliana in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
