Cheap Flights to Tuguegarao from HK$288

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Tuguegarao.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tuguegarao a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
