We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Cabuyao in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cabuyao in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
