Flights to San Agustin, Caraga from NT$3,302

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your San Agustin vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to San Agustin quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
