If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Palanca.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Palanca in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
