Flights to Georgetown, Chestertown from NT$27,005

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Georgetown could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Georgetown before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
