Flights to Branchburg, New Jersey from NT$9,186

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Branchburg vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Branchburg a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
