How to survive the flight to Manaton?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Manaton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manaton?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Manaton quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
