Flights to Redfield, South Dakota from

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Redfield could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Redfield, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
