Cheap Flights to Taegye from HK$1,094

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Taegye.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Taegye before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
