Flights to Bygland, Agder from NT$32,584

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bygland could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bygland in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
