No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Agios Nikolaos vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
- You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.
