Cheap Flights to Nea Skioni from HK$1,116

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Nea Skioni. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Nea Skioni in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. 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 the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
