We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Seydisfjordur in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
- It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
