Cheap Flights to Parga from HK$408

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Parga vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Parga, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
