Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Agios Sostis could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Agios Sostis, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
