Flights to Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado from NT$6,408

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Hot Sulphur Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Hot Sulphur Springs a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. 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.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
