We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Black Hills in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Black Hills a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
