Flights to Laugarvatn, Bláskógabyggd from NT$5,741

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Laugarvatn could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Laugarvatn, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single 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 passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
