How to survive the flight to Athens?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Athens could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We’ve put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fibre clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Athens in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
