Cheap Flights to Tromsø from HK$722

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Tromsø in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tromsø in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
