We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Sadong-ri in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, 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 shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sadong-ri in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels 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 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
