Flights to Kallithea, Kassandra from NT$31,361

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Kallithea escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kallithea in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
