If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in East Glacier Park Village. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to East Glacier Park Village a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
