We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Skala Kallirachis before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
