Flights to Lone Tree, Denver from NT$17,618

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Lone Tree in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended 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 improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Lone Tree quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
