Flights to Cavite City, Calabarzon from NT$1,375

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cavite City could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. 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:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Cavite City, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
