Flights to Laugaras, Bláskógabyggd from NT$5,293

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Laugaras could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Laugaras, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
