How to survive the flight to Queenstown?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Queenstown could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won’t be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Queenstown?
The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Queenstown in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
