How to survive the flight to Samdu-ri?

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Samdu-ri holiday started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Samdu-ri?

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Samdu-ri a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

Have your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
