Cheap Flights to Hvítanes from HK$1,188

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hvítanes could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hvítanes before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
