Cheap Flights to Stavros from HK$464

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Stavros vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Stavros in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
