Flights to Mount Laurel, New Jersey from NT$12,500

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mount Laurel could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Mount Laurel easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
