We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Kvalsund in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget 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:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Kvalsund in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
