We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Kvalsund in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Kvalsund a pleasure. Below you’ll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It’s also likely that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
