If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Mouzaki. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mouzaki in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
