We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Donghae in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.
