Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Alesund could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Alesund, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
