Flights to Flagler, Colorado from NT$8,448

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Flagler escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Flagler in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
