We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Unha before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, 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 guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Unha in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. 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 permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
