Flights to Dumont, Colorado from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Dumont could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dumont in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
