We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Calapan before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Calapan a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
