Cheap Flights to Arden , NV from CA $197

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Arden vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Arden in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
