Cheap Flights to Sandnes from HK$579

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Sandnes.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sandnes before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
