We've rounded up 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 seeing the best of Siquijor in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Siquijor, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
