How to survive the flight to Manado?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Manado before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don’t forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manado?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Manado, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
