Tips for short-haul flights to Orestiada

Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This also allows you to avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic conditions and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight departs, which will give you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin the process of syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
