• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cabatuan in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
