We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Reykjahlíð in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
