Flights to Aris, Kalamata from NT$7,059

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Aris could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Aris quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all 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 slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
