How to survive the flight to Cotabato?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Cotabato could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cotabato?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Cotabato easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever 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.
