Flights to Ornos, Mykonos from NT$2,453

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Ornos. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, 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 a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ornos, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
