Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Agios Vlassios could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of well-fitting, 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 checked luggage.
- The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.
