Flights to Arrington, Nashville from NT$6,200

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Arrington could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Arrington easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort 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 your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. 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 pack them in your checked suitcase.
