Cheap Flights to Mana

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mana could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Mana, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
