Flights to Stratton, Colorado from NT$5,057

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Stratton could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Stratton, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
