Do you have any tips for my flight to Rethymno?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Rethymno escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rethymno?
The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rethymno in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:
  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
