If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your holiday in Oystese. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oystese in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
