Cheap Flights to Episkopi from HK$480

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Episkopi could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Episkopi a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
