Flights to Wando, South Jeolla from NT$688

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Wando escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets 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, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Wando, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring 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 smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
