  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Egilsstaðir?
The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Egilsstaðir, here you come:
  • Have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
