Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Húsafell could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
