Flights to Denver, Pennsylvania from NT$9,831

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Denver could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Denver in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
