Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Malaybalay City could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Malaybalay City a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
