How to survive the flight to Gisborne?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don’t hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your holiday in Gisborne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Gisborne?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gisborne, here you come:

  • Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’re the first items you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • 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 suitcase. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
