Flights to Joppa, Maryland from NT$11,614

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Joppa before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Joppa a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
