Cheap Flights to Grindavik from HK$500

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Grindavik.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Grindavik a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
