Do you have any tips for my flight to Motuoapa?
Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Motuoapa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Motuoapa?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Motuoapa in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
