Flights to Yangsan, Yangpyeong from NT$836

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Yangsan in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

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 the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yangsan in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
