Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sosang-myeon could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sosang-myeon before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy 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 beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
