Cheap Flights to Ulsan from HK$90

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Ulsan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Ulsan a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
