Cheap Flights to Nord-Odal from HK$557

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Nord-Odal could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Nord-Odal a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
