Flights to Hunt Valley, Baltimore from NT$7,622

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hunt Valley could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hunt Valley before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
