Flights to Centennial, Denver from NT$5,298

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Centennial could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Centennial a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
