Cheap Flights to Mesquite , NV from CA $197

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Mesquite vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mesquite in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
