Flights to Atlanta, Georgia from NT$7,219

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Atlanta vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Atlanta, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
