Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Amfilochia vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Amfilochia before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand 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.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• 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 shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
