Flights to Somerville, Tennessee from NT$10,059

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Somerville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

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

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
