Flights to Scott City, Kansas from

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Scott City escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Scott City, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
