Flights to Fairplay, Colorado from NT$6,285

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Fairplay in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fairplay before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single 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 going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
