Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Guji-myeon escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Guji-myeon, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or 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-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
