How to survive the flight to Manukan Island?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Manukan Island could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manukan Island?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Manukan Island, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
