We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Vestmannaeyjar in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Vestmannaeyjar easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
