Flights to South Plainfield, New Jersey from NT$8,462

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in South Plainfield.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out South Plainfield, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
