Do you have any tips for my flight to Crete?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Crete. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Crete?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Crete, here you come:
  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra 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 in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
