Do you have any tips for my flight to Queenstown?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Queenstown in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Queenstown?
The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Queenstown, here you come:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
