Cheap Flights to Paxos from HK$1,032

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paxos could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Paxos, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
