If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Sauðárkrókur. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.
