Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’re well prepared. We’ve made a list of top travel tips that will get your Hongseong escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Hongseong, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
