Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grindavik could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
