Cheap Flights to Psarou from HK$288

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Psarou holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

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

• Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
