Cheap Flights to Moses Lake , WA from CA $248

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Moses Lake in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Moses Lake, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
