Do you have any tips for my flight to Lake Tarawera?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Lake Tarawera holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lake Tarawera?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lake Tarawera before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
