Do you have any tips for my flight to Palekastro?
If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Palekastro. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palekastro?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Palekastro easy and painless. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
