Cheap Flights to Gimhae from HK$845

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Gimhae. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gimhae, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
