Flights to Raritan, New Jersey from NT$7,984

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Raritan could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Raritan easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
