Do you have any tips for my flight to Athens?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your time in Athens. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Athens in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
