If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Krinidhes. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
