Why You Should Take a Flight to Ios

Ios is a Greek island that offers so much more than its reputation for fun-filled summer party breaks. Dig a little deeper and you’ll discover winding footpaths through traditional hilltop towns, dramatic views and picturesque honey farms. But, if you are in the mood for some hedonistic fun, hit the bars and clubs for some wild nightlife.


When to Book Flights to Ios

July and August are peak months for visitors but you can still find quiet and secluded beaches if that’s what you’re after.

How to survive the flight to Ios?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Ios could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ios?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Ios in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
