Cheap Flights to Selianitika from HK$4,345

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Selianitika could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Selianitika quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
