Flights to Agia Thekli, Kefalonia from NT$34,259

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Agia Thekli escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Agia Thekli, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
