Question 10

How to survive the flight to Manchester?

Accepted Answer

Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Manchester could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

First, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manchester?

Accepted Answer

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Manchester in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
