• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Cagayan de Oro, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
