Flights to Marathokampos, Samos from NT$30,408

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Marathokampos escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

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

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
