Flights to Alykes, Corfu from NT$12,936

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Alykes could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set 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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Alykes quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
