How to survive the flight to Nelson?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Nelson in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more 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 your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nelson?
The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Nelson in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
