Do you have any tips for my flight to Irakleio?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Irakleio. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Irakleio?
It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Irakleio, here you come:
  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
