Flights to Kora-ri, Seosan from NT$4,384

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Kora-ri escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, 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:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Kora-ri a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
