Flights to Tuy, Calabarzon from NT$1,255

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Tuy before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tuy in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
