How to survive the flight to Athens?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Athens could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. 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 great start:

  • Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
