Flights to Las Animas, Colorado from

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Las Animas in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Las Animas in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 on board and will be confiscated.
