Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Reykjanesbær holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
- The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.
