If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Grøtfjord. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Grøtfjord before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
