How to survive the flight to Athens?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Athens escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Athens?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach 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:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
