Cheap Flights to Methoni from HK$4,589

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Methoni. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Methoni, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
