If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Bekkjarvik.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bekkjarvik in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
