Flights to Hamilton Dome, Thermopolis from NT$6,397

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will get your Hamilton Dome escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Hamilton Dome easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
