Flights to Olympi, Chios from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Olympi could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Olympi a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
