Do you have any tips for my flight to Manukan Island?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Manukan Island escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. 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:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater 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. Try to wander 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 Manukan Island?
The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Manukan Island before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
