Flights to Festvåg, Bodo from NT$9,476

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Festvåg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Festvåg, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
