Flights to Panormos, Mylopotamos from NT$2,786

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Panormos in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Panormos in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. 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 have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't 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 baggage.
