Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Muntinlupa vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Muntinlupa, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
