Flights to Sanin-myeon, Haman from NT$1,119

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sanin-myeon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Sanin-myeon, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
