Cheap Flights to Seogwipo from HK$84

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Seogwipo could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Seogwipo, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
