Cheap Flights to Gyeongsan from HK$745

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Gyeongsan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gyeongsan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• 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 close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
