A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kithira?

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Kithira, here you come:

Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
