• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Cheongju a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
