You should also be aware that Cypriots think that '1 item of handluggage' actually means:

1 x Handbag
1 x Bag of Duty Free
1 x Bag of toys for the child
1 x Bag of emergency food supplies
1 x Makeup case (large)
1 x Suitcase of standard cabin dimensions
1 x Large coat (preferably fur)
1 x Bag of magazines for the flight
1 x Laptop case with laptop and plenty of DVDs.
1 x Plastic carrier bag with mystery contents
1 x Stack of newspapers (well, they are free)

So don't panic when the overhead lockers are rammed full and only 3 people have boarded the plane - this is normal. Enjoy the flight !
