We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Spilia in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Spilia, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
