Cheap Flights to Hvolsvollur from HK$390

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Hvolsvollur.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Hvolsvollur quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
