Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Grimsey could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Grimsey in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
