We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Hinigaran in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hinigaran in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
