Flights to Bacong, Central Visayas from NT$2,424

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Bacong vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bacong before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
