Do you have any tips for my flight to Carterton?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Carterton in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carterton?
The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Carterton in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
