We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Mesa before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mesa in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
