Do you have any tips for my flight to Ruakaka?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Ruakaka before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

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

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
