Flights to Ward, Colorado from NT$7,517

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ward could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Ward a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
