How to survive the flight to Platrithias?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Platrithias could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Platrithias?
As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Platrithias before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
