Flights to Clarksville, Louisville from NT$7,852

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Clarksville could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Clarksville a piece of cake. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be 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 precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
