Do you have any tips for my flight to Manapouri?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Manapouri. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Manapouri?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Manapouri, here you come:
  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
