No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Xylokastro-Evrostina escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters).
What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
- The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.
