If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Akureyri. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Akureyri?
The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Akureyri, here you come:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
