Flights to Monteagle, Tennessee from NT$9,233

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Monteagle escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change 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 liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Monteagle quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
