Cheap Flights to Grikos

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Grikos. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Grikos a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety 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, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
