We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Laughlin in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Laughlin in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
