Cheap Flights to Harstad from HK$502

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Harstad could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Harstad in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
