Flights to Grambia, Karystos from NT$2,834

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Grambia vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Grambia, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
