Flights to Smithville, Tennessee from NT$5,580

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Smithville in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Smithville, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
