Flights to White, Georgia from NT$6,237

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your White escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to White in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all 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 bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
