Flights to Suok, Geochang from NT$4,151

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Suok vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Suok easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
