Flights to Asites, Heraklion from NT$4,062

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Asites.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Asites quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
