If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Souda. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.
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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
- The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
