Do you have any tips for my flight to Pyeongchang?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pyeongchang could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Pyeongchang?
It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pyeongchang, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
