We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Mono Hot Springs in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Mono Hot Springs a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
