We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Lucena before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lucena in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
