Do you have any tips for my flight to El Nido?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in El Nido in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to El Nido?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to El Nido in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:
  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
