Flights to Eggares, Naxos from NT$2,709

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Eggares escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Eggares easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
