No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Cheongsapo Fishing Village escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Cheongsapo Fishing Village easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
