Cheap Flights to Nashville from HK$1,684

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Nashville escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Nashville a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
