We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Yellowstone National Park in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Yellowstone National Park a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
