Do you have any tips for my flight to Takaka?
If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Takaka. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Takaka?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Takaka a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
