If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Sjusjoen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Sjusjoen easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
