Flights to Emporio, Santorini from NT$3,321

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Emporio could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Emporio, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater 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 valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
