Flights to Bethpage, Tennessee from NT$3,984

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Bethpage.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bethpage before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
