No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Agios Andreas escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack 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 by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.
