If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Kozani. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put 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 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
