We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Mytilene in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful 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, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
