We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Gubat in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Gubat quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater 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 clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
