Do you have any tips for my flight to Manchester?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Manchester escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manchester?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Manchester a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
