Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to West Wendover could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to West Wendover in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
