Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage.

Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Zakynthos?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Zakynthos, here you come:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
