Flights to Kvinnherad, Vestland from NT$5,219

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Kvinnherad. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kvinnherad a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
