We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Kokkari before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
