How to survive the flight to Gwangju?
Wherever you’re jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you’ve prepared well. We’ve put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Gwangju holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It’s also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gwangju?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Gwangju in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

  • Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
