Flights to Hackensack, New Jersey from NT$24,908

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Hackensack.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Hackensack a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
