How Long is This Thing Gonna Take?

Factors Affecting Flight Time
Now, before you start packing your bags and booking that flight, there are a few things to consider that might affect your travel time:

- Wind: Mother Nature can be a real party pooper sometimes. If you're flying into a headwind, expect a slightly longer journey. Conversely, a tailwind could shave a few precious minutes off your flight time.
- Airline and Aircraft: Some airlines and aircraft models are simply faster than others. If you're in a rush, opt for a speedy bird (or plane, in this case).
- Layovers: Unless you're incredibly lucky, you'll probably have to deal with at least one layover. This can add anywhere from a few hours to a whole day to your travel time. So, pack a good book (or download a bunch of podcasts) to keep yourself entertained.
What to Expect in Iceland
Alright, so you've survived the flight. Congratulations! Now it's time to embrace the land of fire and ice. Expect breathtaking landscapes, friendly locals, and a whole lot of Icelandic wool sweaters. Just remember to bring a warm coat, because it's colder than a polar bear's toenails up there.

How to Make the Most of Your Flight
- How to choose the perfect seat: Window seats for the views, aisle seats for easy bathroom access, and middle seats for... well, let's not dwell on that.
- How to survive turbulence: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and channel your inner zen master. Or just pretend you're on a rollercoaster.
- How to get some sleep on a plane: Invest in a good travel pillow, earplugs, and an eye mask. And maybe avoid that third cup of coffee.
- How to entertain yourself on a long flight: Bring a book, download movies or TV shows, or play games on your phone or tablet. Or, you could always chat with your seatmate. But be warned, you might end up hearing about their entire life story.
- How to stay hydrated on a plane: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine. Your skin (and your bladder) will thank you.
So, there you have it. A quick (or not so quick) guide to flying from Baltimore to Iceland. Remember, the journey is half the fun (or at least that's what we tell ourselves). Happy travels!
