• It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Kalymnos easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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 good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers 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 luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
