Cheap Flights to Gwangmyeong from HK$437

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Gwangmyeong. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Gwangmyeong easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
