Cheap Flights to West Yellowstone from HK$627

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your West Yellowstone escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out West Yellowstone, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
