How to survive the flight to Heraklion?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Heraklion.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Heraklion?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Heraklion in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
