Cheap Flights to Dipolog from HK$515

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Dipolog vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Dipolog quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger 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 valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
