Flights to Sorfold, Nordland from NT$2,271

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sorfold could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Sorfold, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need 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 shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must 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 asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
