Flights to Chin-gol, Changnyeong from NT$3,411

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Chin-gol.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Chin-gol, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
