Do you have any tips for my flight to Queenstown?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Queenstown could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Queenstown?
The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Queenstown, here you come:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
