Flights to Bais City, Central Visayas from NT$2,251

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Bais City in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Bais City, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
