Do you have any tips for my flight to Gwangju?
Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gwangju could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gwangju?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Gwangju a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
