The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kalamata a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
