Cheap Flights to Arendal from HK$1,480

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Arendal. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Arendal, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
