Flights to Hanjimi, Hongseong from NT$4,288

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Hanjimi in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hanjimi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
