Cheap Flights to Bø from HK$2,177

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Bø. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bø in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
