Flights to Cimarron, Colorado from NT$47,229

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Cimarron vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cimarron in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
