Flights to McAllister, Montana from NT$6,156

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in McAllister.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out McAllister, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
