How to survive the flight to Akureyri?

Accepted Answer

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Akureyri.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Question 10

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Akureyri?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Akureyri, here you come:

Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
