Flights to Dillon, Colorado from NT$5,840

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your vacation in Dillon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Dillon quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
