Make sure you get to the airport three hours early in Athens the security lines are a nightmare. They are pulling other airlines out of the line ahead of you. They are pulling other passport types out of the lines ahead of you. You will stand there forever, no matter what clearances you have. Avoid Chicago airport at all cost. The place is falling down. They are elevators are out of order a few elevators that they have have lines so long that you will never get through before your flight takes off. People with carts of luggage are trying to get on the elevators with the handicap. It is a total zoo and if the temperature is 95°, the Air Conditioner can only cool to 89°. No you’re going to sweat to death.

Boston is one of the most difficult airports to navigate when returning from overseas. A long walk thru the overseas terminal E to customs, then after waiting in the line to clear customs, you have to retrieve your checked bag and take another long walk to the domestic checked bag location. Then you have another loooong walk to the domestic terminal (A or C) for your connecting flight. A bus is provided, but they are infrequent and often too crowded to board. All in all, you need about 90 minutes between flight (minimum!)

Buy your meal and choose your seats when you book, because if you want to add them later, their website has issues.

Emirates has the best baggage and in flight options. I would recommend flying from Newark instead of NYC or Philadelphia for better prices and public transportation options back and forth

Make sure you come prepared, at least when it comes to food and drinks, unless you want to pay extra!

No bathrooms before customs. Takes about 45 min to an hour for luggage to get from plane to where I can pick it up to transfer it over. Area feels dirty
