We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Kangsu-ri in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
- The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
- The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.
