Cheap Flights to Agia Varvara from HK$312

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Agia Varvara could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Agia Varvara easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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 for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
