Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kallithea could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
- Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.
