Cheap Flights to Lorenskog from HK$597

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Lorenskog escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Lorenskog, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
