Flights to Suri-ri, Daegu from NT$4,109

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Suri-ri could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Suri-ri, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
