Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Grecia could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you’ll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Grecia, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
