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

  • The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Palmerston?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Palmerston before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often 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 in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
