• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Gimcheon a pleasure. We’ve compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
• Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
