Flights to Choyang, Cheonan from NT$800

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Choyang escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Choyang a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single 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 heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
