Flights to Topsham, Maine from NT$26,168

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Topsham could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Topsham quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
