Flights to Kandia, Nafplio from NT$2,619

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kandia could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Kandia, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
