Flights to Mangil-ri, Jindo from NT$656

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Mangil-ri in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, 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:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Mangil-ri, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
