Do you have any tips for my flight to La Union?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in La Union in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to La Union?
Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to La Union a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
