Do you have any tips for my flight to Palmerston North?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Palmerston North in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Put 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palmerston North?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Palmerston North, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
