Cheap Flights to Lutherville Timonium from HK$542

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lutherville Timonium could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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 promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Lutherville Timonium, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
