Cheap Flights to Manikia from CA $74

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Manikia could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled 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 your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Manikia a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
