Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Skinnastadur could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
- Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
- Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.
