We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying La Union in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
  • Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Union?
The answer is simple --- be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out La Union, here you come:

  • Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
