Flights to Hossa, Suomussalmi from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hossa could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Hossa easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
