Do you have any tips for my flight to Tongariro?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Tongariro in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tongariro?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tongariro, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
