Flights to Oeu, Suncheon from NT$5,263

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Oeu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Oeu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
