We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
