Flights to Imgi, Busan from NT$865

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Imgi could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Imgi a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
