Flights to Cooke City, Montana from NT$18,376

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Cooke City escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Cooke City a pleasure. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
