Flights to Paonia, Colorado from NT$86,981

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Paonia. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Paonia in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
