Cheap Flights to Auburn , IA from CA $248

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Auburn before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Auburn a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
