Do you have any tips for my flight to Gwangju?

  • Get your trip off to a wonderful start by being well prepared. Pack the important stuff — like your passport, travel documents and any medications you need — first. After that, think about downloading a few movies on your tablet or phone for a binge session sans guilt. Or, toss in that juicy bestseller you’ve been eager to read. Lastly, a few snacks and a good neck pillow will help make your trip as comfy as possible.
  • Remember that there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which differs between airlines. As a general rule, avoid packing anything flammable, explosive or sharp. This includes things like pocket knives, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, ski poles and objects that could harm passengers, such as batons and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren’t designed for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothes and pack a hoodie as it can get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toe shoes are perfect for longer journeys.
  • Reduce your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition which can be caused by sitting for lengthy periods, by regularly moving around the cabin. Otherwise, do some gentle lower limb exercises in your seat. If you’re at higher risk of developing DVT, consider wearing compression socks or tights.
