Cheap Flights to Nansan-ri from HK$117

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Nansan-ri holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Nansan-ri, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
