Cheap Flights to Ungdo-ri from CA $461

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ungdo-ri could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Ungdo-ri, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
