We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Maasin City in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Maasin City a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
