If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Nesbyen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Nesbyen, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
