Flights to Concord, Georgia from NT$16,291

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Concord vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Concord in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
