Flights to Trilofos, Katerini from NT$35,030

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Trilofos. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Trilofos in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
