We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Lafkos in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh 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) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lafkos in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
