Do you have any tips for my flight to Athens?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Athens. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Athens before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
