We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Dauin in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dauin in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
