Flights to Katachas, Pydna-Kolindros from NT$5,935

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Katachas could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Katachas a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
