Flights to Spencerville, Maryland from NT$10,213

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Spencerville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Spencerville in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 on board and will be confiscated.
