Flights to St. Simons Island, Georgia from NT$54,715

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your St. Simons Island escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out St. Simons Island, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
