Do you have any tips for my flight to Te Anau Downs?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Te Anau Downs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Te Anau Downs?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Te Anau Downs, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
