Flights to Ringsaker, Innlandet from NT$15,929

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Ringsaker. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ringsaker in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
