Flights to Majayjay, Calabarzon from NT$3,188

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Majayjay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Majayjay before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
