Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bigeum-myeon could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
- The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
- Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.
