Do you have any tips for my flight to Manipal?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your time in Manipal. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manipal?
It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Manipal, here you come:

  • Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favorite cologne? 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
