Flights to Sablayan, Mimaropa from NT$2,720

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sablayan could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Sablayan, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
