Flights to Adams, Tennessee from NT$5,287

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Adams.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Adams easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
