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

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pelileo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
