Do you have any tips for my flight to Gwangju?

  • What you pack in your carry-on can make the difference between a comfortable flight, and one that leaves you drained. Start with the must-haves, such as a valid ID (like your passport) and your travel documents. Once they’re packed, throw in any medications you might need. Next, think about comfort factor. A neck pillow, earphones and a good book will help the time fly by while you’re soaring above the clouds.
  • Don’t forget there’s also a list of prohibited items for your hand luggage which can differ between carriers and flight routes. As a general rule, avoid packing anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like utility knives, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, baseball bats and objects considered weapons, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Whether traveling long or short-haul, wearing layers will help you stay comfortable. Wear loose, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and pack a pullover to cope with any in-flight cabin temperature changes. Keep your feet happy in a pair of sneakers or closed-toe shoes.
  • Consider wearing compression socks or tights to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This condition is a result of blood clotting that can be caused by prolonged periods of sitting, especially on long-haul journeys. Doing foot and leg stretches in your seat or wandering around the cabin are great ways to improve your circulation.

How can I get a cheap last-minute flight to Gwangju?
To get your hands on a cheap, spur-of-the-moment flight to Gwangju, flexibility is important. If possible, have a little wiggle room with the dates you plan to travel. It will also help to keep your options open with your departure and arrival points, airline choice, flight times and layovers or stops.
