Flights to Hazlet, New Jersey from NT$26,549

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Hazlet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Hazlet, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
