Cheap Flights to Vennesla from HK$1,587

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

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Vennesla quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
