Do you have any tips for my flight to Mapua?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Mapua before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mapua?
Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Mapua a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
