Flights to Arkesini, Amorgos from NT$3,814

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Arkesini escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Arkesini, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
