If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Vasilikiadhes.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.
