Flights to Jeju City, Jeju from NT$1,278

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Jeju City in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Jeju City, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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 on board.
