Flights to La Vergne, Nashville from NT$6,263

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Vergne could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to La Vergne a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
