Cheap Flights to Nashville

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Nashville holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Nashville quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
