Flights to Gurye, South Jeolla from NT$9,250

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Gurye vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gurye a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily 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 speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
