Flights to Hagang, Changnyeong from NT$4,906

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Hagang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Hagang, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
