Flights to Hiawassee, Georgia from NT$6,994

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Hiawassee vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Hiawassee, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
