We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Reykjanesbær in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Reykjanesbær in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on 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, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
