Do you have any tips for my flight to Lefkada?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Lefkada. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lefkada?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Lefkada a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
