  • Make serious savings on your getaway by bundling your flights, hotels and car rental into an Orbitz package deal. Your travel budget will thank you.

It’s good to be ready for anything when going on a trip. Keep in mind the following pointers for a smooth flight:

  • You’ll need proof of identification such as your passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you book your flight tickets under the same name as your government-issued ID. It’s good to have digital copies of important documents too, just in case!
  • Bring some extra entertainment for your long trip to Crete. If you’ve had enough of watching that series on your phone, give your eyes a break from all that screen time and listen to some music instead.
