We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Ljosavatn in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Ljosavatn a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
