How to survive the flight to Crested Butte?
If you’re not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Crested Butte.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and don’t forget to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Crested Butte?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Crested Butte, here you come:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
