Flights to Yesan-gun, Yesan from NT$760

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Yesan-gun escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Yesan-gun a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
