We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Aitoliko in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank 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 carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Aitoliko a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
