Do you have any tips for my flight to Athens?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Athens holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Athens easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
