Cheap Flights to Agios Dimitrios from HK$7,691

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Agios Dimitrios could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare 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 blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Agios Dimitrios a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
