Cheap Flights to Lenoir City , TN from CA $206

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Lenoir City in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance 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 socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lenoir City in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• 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 in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
