Cheap Flights to Trikala from HK$1,256

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Trikala in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Trikala, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
