Flights to Snowmass, Colorado from NT$66,915

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Snowmass could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Snowmass in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever 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 extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
