Cheap Flights to Jersey City from HK$3,076

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jersey City could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Jersey City, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
