Cheap Flights to Superior , CO from CA $178

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Superior. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Superior, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
