Cheap Flights to Dinosaur , CO from CA $256

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Dinosaur vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Dinosaur, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
