Flights to Woji, Gimhae from NT$812

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Woji.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, 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 bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Woji a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
