How to survive the flight to Ierapetra?

Accepted Answer

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Ierapetra holiday started on the right foot.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget 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 shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ierapetra?

Accepted Answer

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Ierapetra, here you come:

Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops 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 liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
