Flights to Powder River, Wyoming from

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Powder River. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Powder River, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
