Flights to Sirili, Platanias from NT$14,621

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Sirili in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Sirili easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, 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 shampoo 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.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
