Flights to Agios Nikolaos, Cyprus from NT$18,065

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Agios Nikolaos vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Agios Nikolaos, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
