Cheap Flights to Mequon

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mequon could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Mequon quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
