Flights to Salida, Colorado from NT$23,142

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Salida in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salida in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach 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, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
