Flights to Horten, Vestfold from NT$6,245

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Horten could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Horten in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
