Cheap Flights to Thorkotlustadir from HK$368

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Thorkotlustadir could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Thorkotlustadir before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, 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 before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
