Flights to Neos Marmaras, Sithonia from NT$7,285

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Neos Marmaras escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Neos Marmaras, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
