Do you have any tips for my flight to Catlins Forest Park?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Catlins Forest Park before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries 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 differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Catlins Forest Park?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Catlins Forest Park a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have 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 to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
