Cheap Flights to Kristiansand from HK$1,245

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Kristiansand.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Kristiansand, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
