Cheap Flights to Pohang from HK$795

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pohang could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pohang, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
