We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Las Pinas in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3null4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
- Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.
