We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Porto Carras in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Porto Carras quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
