How to survive the flight to Lefkada?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re prepared. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Lefkada holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lefkada?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Lefkada a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
