We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Kalamaki in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.
