Cheap Flights to Mitchell , NE from CA $469

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Mitchell in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Mitchell, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
