Do you have any tips for my flight to Crete?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Crete could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Crete?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Crete in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
