Do you have any tips for my flight to Atenas?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Atenas could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Atenas?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Atenas, here you come:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
