No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Hvammstangi holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
