Question 10

How to survive the flight to Mount Crested Butte?

Accepted Answer

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Mount Crested Butte.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mount Crested Butte?

Accepted Answer

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mount Crested Butte, here you come:

Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
