Do you have any tips for my flight to Athens?

  • Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’re well prepared. First of all, pack your travel documents, passport and medications. Next, throw in some in-flight entertainment to help the time fly by. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with the latest movies are good options. If you want to get some shut-eye, a blow-up neck pillow and noise-canceling headphones are also worth bringing along.
  • It also pays to check with your airline regarding what you can’t take on board your flight. Razor blades, pocket knives, swords and batons are among the prohibited items. Anything explosive, flammable or sharp is generally not allowed in your carry-on. Be sure to pack any sports equipment like ski poles or baseball bats in your checked luggage.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Opt for comfort instead of fashion when flying. Layer up and wear natural materials since they allow moisture and air to pass through and keep you cool. Cabin temperatures typically get cooler on long-haul journeys, so pack a hoodie or similar and always wear sneakers or flat, closed-toe shoes.
  • The condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting caused by inactivity and poor circulation. Strolling up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg stretches while seated can prevent it developing. Wearing compression tights or socks can also help to reduce your risk.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Athens?
Picking up a cheap, last-minute flight to Athens is as easy as being flexible with your travel plans. Have some leeway when it comes to your choice of airline, flight times and travel dates. If your destination has multiple airports, compare the prices of flying into each of them for the best deal on your airfare.

Most flights are free to cancel within 24 hours of making the reservation. However, some flights are non-refundable, and you may receive a flight credit from the airline to use for a future booking. For more information, please visit our Customer Service Portal.
